\n

Punjab and Haryana High Court:<\/span> In a petition filed by the petitioner under Articles 226<\/a> and 227<\/a> of the Constitution<\/a> seeking a direction to the respondent to appoint him to the post of Male Constable (Driver), a Single Judge Bench of Jagmohan Bansal, J.<\/span>, disposed of the same and held that the State would look into grievance of the petitioner of his appointment in ex-servicemen category and pass an appropriate order within six months.<\/p>\n

In the present case, the petitioner contended that he had served in the CRPF, however, was denied appointment under the Ex-servicemen category. Before this, the petitioner had filed a petition which was dismissed on merits and Letters Patent Appeal was withdrawn with liberty to make representation before the respondent-authorities regarding inclusion of the petitioner in the category of Ex-Servicemen. The petitioner claimed that he filed representation and thus, contended that the present petition was maintainable because the respondent had not decided his representation.<\/p>\n

The Court opined that it could not decide question of inclusion of retired officials of Paramilitary Forces (CRPF, BSF, CISF etc.) in the definition of Ex-Serviceman. It was a policy matter, and the State had to decide the issue.<\/p>\n

The Court disposed of the petition and ordered the State to look into the grievance of the petitioner and pass an appropriate order within six months.<\/p>\n

[Makhan Singh v. State of Punjab, 2025 SCC OnLine P&H 5802<\/a>, decided on 18-8-2025<\/span>]<\/p>\n\n

Advocates who appeared in this case:<\/p>\n

For the Petitioner:<\/span> Dinesh Ghai, Advocate, Amita Arora, Advocate and Kavita, Advocate<\/p>\n
